From: Metabarcoding of bacteria and parasites in the gut of Apodemus agrarius
Alpha and beta diversities of the cecal microbiomes of wild Apodemus agrarius by collection season. a, b Box plots of number of OTUs (a) and Shannon index (b) in mice captured in the spring (n = 25) and those captured in the fall(n = 23). c Principal coordinates analysis representing the cecal microbiome composition. d Linear discriminant analysis effect size analysis of differentially abundant bacterial taxa among the two groups. Only taxa meeting a significant (> 3) linear discriminant analysis threshold are shown. OTUs, Operational taxonomic units; N.S., not significant; PERMOVA, permutational multivariate analysis of variance
